We are indeed, about to find out who the American people are. Thanks for your clear-eyed perspective, Dave. From where I sit , you have definitely accumulated some wisdom, and I appreciate your sharing it.
Back up the truck, Dave. You nailed it. To paraphrase Paul Simon, a second Trump term would be known for the sound of sirens, going off around the world.
Thank you, Mark. Happy to back up the truck so long as you’re back there guiding me. (Mark and I pick up donated furniture together while volunteering for the FreeStore. www.thefreestore.org)
Thanks, Dave. I walked the streets of Sherman Hill last night with my wife and friends. I was dressed as a bag of M and M s. There were thousands of Iowans on the dark streets of all types and ages. Multiple languages were heard. We were all having fun. This is not the world painted by Trump and his cronies. America is blessed. Iowa is blessed. Polk County is blessed. Des Moines is blessed. I am sure some hater can find some incident from last night that he/she could spread on social media to make us look bad. But, that is the problem with the new media. Distortion, fear, anger, vulgarity, lies, distrust of our neighbors. Trump World!
Great column.
Well said. This is a good column to forward to people who are voting for Trump who are not MAGA cultists.
Agree 100%

Thank you for your kind comments, Virginia.
What I know to be true: your age has given you great wisdom, Dave!
And wrinkles and gray hair!
Grandpa Dave, The joy of a grandchild on your lap 💖💖💖 May it be so 🙏

Right. No carnage on the streets here in Beaverdale, either.
Excellent article. Thanks for being the voice of honest and reasonable thoughts
Thank you!!
Yes! 💯. Thanks Dave, you’ve helped ease a bit of anxiety because despite some fear, deep down I have faith in Americans
I would like to think so, too, Julie. It’s hard to believe we can be as divided as we are.
Spot on, Dave! This is an excellent summary of the key issues involved in this election cycle.
Good essay, thanks.
Please run for Iowa Governor. We have said the same thing about our grandchildren and trump. So grateful for your voice of reason.
Terri, you are too kind. There are so many outstanding YOUNGER Iowans we both could name who, I hope, will be governor some day.
Thank you for this column! Amen!
Excellent column, Dave.
